The Gujarat government unveiled a Rs 426 crore plan to boost tourism, allocating Rs 14.3 crore for a rain‑forest attraction, Rs 16 crore for a cruise facility and Rs 50 crore for an IRCTC‑operated hotel.
Gujarat's state administration has announced a comprehensive tourism makeover worth Rs 426 crore, aiming to enhance the region's appeal to domestic and international visitors. The investment package covers a range of infrastructure projects designed to diversify the state's tourism offerings.
The plan earmarks Rs 14.3 crore for the creation of a rain‑forest themed attraction, intended to provide an immersive ecological experience. A separate allocation of Rs 16 crore will fund a cruise facility that will operate on the state's waterways, while Rs 50 crore is set aside for an IRCTC‑managed hotel to cater to travelers seeking standardized accommodation.
Officials expect the combined projects to generate employment, stimulate ancillary businesses and raise Gujarat's profile as a multi‑dimensional tourist destination over the coming years.
